Hi,
It would be nice if you could report your results here. Thanks.
It seems to me that I would have to specify items by keywords, which would be undesirable. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something.
Look @ this screen shot for a comparison: http://www.sicom.com/~bdoan/geany.png
I tried a later standalone version of scintilla and it does not have this problem, but it seems that the highlighting scheme is different.
Standalone version? You mean Scite?
Yup..
Finally, I found the Auto Indentation handling of the '}' to be unnatural, as it would always place the '}' one tab to the right of where I wanted it. My attached patch removes this feature, but I'm sure the feature is their for a reason, so would anyone mind If I made another patch which makes this feature an optional?
Also it seems 'Find' (Find again works) is broken in SVN head today.
Thanks!
Cheers,
- Bob

I think you can change the unmatched tag, unmatched attribute, etc. styling for filetypes.xml to use appropriate colours, similar to the SciTE screenshot. The relevant styles have the prefix html_ at the moment.
Then one of us can integrate the filetypes.xml changes into highlighting.c (this is the default, overridden by /usr/local/share/geany/filetypes.xml, then optionally by ~/.geany/filedefs).
I agree with you & Rowan Lewis that the XML style should not use a list of known tags & attributes, and doesn't need support for scripting languages, so we will need to separate these things for HTML and DocBook. I think much of the styling setup can still be shared for all markup types, but change the html_prefix to a generic markup name.

An option would be good - it works for the coding style where matching braces have the same indentation.
Also it seems 'Find' (Find again works) is broken in SVN head today.
Could you give more information about this? I haven't noticed a problem. With the Find dialog?
